This episode will start with a review using K-dramas and a K-pop song to illustrate some of the key points discussed in the last episode about "Speech Styles." Then we'll get to today's main topic on "Speech Levels" of the Korean language. Consider this lesson as an introduction as I will provide an outline of speech levels’ important aspects and put aside a lesson on how they are actually used in the language later. (We need to build a little more vocabulary and grammar base :-)
In terms of speaking practice, please repeat after Teacher Kay 케이쌤 in the part where she introduces verbs describing a daily routine, in both neutral and honorific forms.
